Hi everyone, I'm Sam Hubard and I want to say a special thank you to the students of Jennifer Gardner's revenue generation in sports and events class for choosing the Sam Hubard Foundation to receive this year's Mayor Philanthropy Project Award. It means so much not just to me personally, but to everyone involved in the work that we do across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. For those who are not in Jennifer's class, this support will be directly applied to our flagship program, Hubard's Cupboards.
We're so proud to continue expanding this program, ensuring more students and teachers have access to the essential resources that they need to succeed in school. More specifically, this support will aid in the purchasing of healthy snacks, our biggest need and cost. This year alone, our food bill is going to cross $100,000.
And this is not just a number. It represents thousands of moments of dignity and relief fueled by having your basic needs met. I'm sorry I could not be there tonight to celebrate the amazing work being done by NKU students and faculty, but I'm so proud to continue working with such amazing communities like ENKU.
to see your commitment to serving, learning, and making a difference is truly inspiring. So, thank you and have a great night.
